If you're writing for Windows boxes, SwiftForth is the environment you want. I suspect it might be easier to write a auto-DLL-maker in C, except for Leon or Rick, who might very well finished writing one while I wrote this.

I believe if you're doing an embedded implementation, you'll probably have to write your own DLL-maker for SwiftX.

Subject: [sftalk] generating self-contained dlls: sf or swiftx?

I want to have a GUI app where I can paste some code and get a DLL as a result.

Should I use SwiftForth or SwiftX for this?

The context is compiling trading strategies written in EasyLanguage
[1] to machine code, to be loaded back into TradeStation [2] as a DLL.
Think improvement in security, speed, etc. This type of a small
self-contained Forth runtime can be loaded into all types of other
trading applications that normally don't understand EasyLanguage.

    Thanks, Joel
